Les écosystèmes côtiers rendent des services écosystémiques importants dont la séquestration du carbone pour la lutte contre les changements climatiques. Dans le contexte de l’élévation du niveau marin, ces écosystèmes sont vulnérabilisés à la suite d’importantes pertes de superficies avec le recul des côtes. Le littoral de la côte du Golfe du Saint-Laurent vers la […]

Although zooplankton monitoring is crucial for informed conservation, data on nearshore zooplankton ecology, despite its importance for forage fish, is lacking. This study will use ZooScan image analysis to process samples collected by the Pacific Salmon Foundation Citizen Science Oceanography program in Malaspina Strait (2015 – ongoing) and assess the seasonal dynamics of the nearshore […]

This research champions anti-racist thinking around housing in the city of Ottawa. This project considers the possibility of antiracist cities by examining how racial inequities are produced through housing, how displacement occurs in the city of Ottawa, and how grassroots advocacy for secure, affordable housing may facilitate spatial and racial justice. This research will contribute […]

The Saanich Peninsula Environmental Coalition (SPEC) and the ACT – Action on Climate Team, SFU are working together to implement a bioregional approach to conservation and sustainability on the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island, BC. SPEC developed a Bioregional Framework in 2021 which outlined a holistic approach to environmental health and management and advocated for […]

Constructed wetlands are multifunctional natural-like systems created for wastewater treatment, biomass production, water storage, flood retention, and wildlife habitat. Constructed wetlands where water-loving plants grow can also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thus potentially contribute to offsetting greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activities. However, like all wetlands, constructed wetlands also produce greenhouse […]

A significant amount of fraudulent activity tends to go unreported in reality, one of the major focuses for our team recently has been to develop robust GNNs that can perform anomaly detection on noisily labeled graphs. Noisily labeled anomalous data can reduce the model performance as it learns incorrect patterns during training, cause the model […]

Le Palais des Congrès de Montréal est une institution publique à vocation commerciale qui génère d’importantes retombées économiques pour le Québec. Un défi majeur pour cette institution est la planification annuelle de plus de 350 événements de nature et d’envergure variées, tout en respectant diverses contraintes opérationnelles et commerciales pour atteindre les objectifs fixés par […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

This project aims to develop an innovative method to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of inspecting aerospace parts, such as aero-engine blades. These components often have intricate shapes, making precise inspection a significant challenge. To overcome this, the project combines data from two measurement systems: one that captures detailed 3D scans and another that provides […]

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive, debilitating, chronic respiratory disease that affects 600 million people worldwide and is responsible for 3 million deaths worldwide each year. Given the recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and the availability of large datasets from both the public and private sectors, our project applies AI to analyze […]

Adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs) are adults who have been shaped by their mobility and cross-cultural experiences as a result of spending a significant part of their developmental years in a country other than their passport country. Although these experiences have provided ATCKs with valuable characteristics and skillsets, ATCKs struggle with identity creation and a […]
